I just love the contrast with the stainless san mai, and the carbon migration effect on the blade!

[ginojeffries]

I’ve watched several of your videos and I want to say you don’t just make knives, you creat art

[frunkenstein]

Unreal craftsmanship. You have become my new favourite smith. Like the shark of your logo, you're at the top of the food chain when it come to crafting deadly pieces of art.

[NickyK]

I always love and appreciate how you narrate through the steps. It’s very informative, and as always, beautiful work!

[astormofwrenches]

This turned out great. Another striking piece.

[erikcourtney]

Stainless San mai has a bad intention of splitting when forging to shape as well. Stainless San mai with a HC steel center. Best of both worlds in one knife. My favorite knife.

[redwolfknives]

Beautiful San mai! Sometimes I like looking at San mai more than Damascus

[bradymcphail]

I’ll tell you the truth… your work is above reproach! Like not forging the shape of the knife makes you lesser of a knife maker. I forge and stock remove the shape of my knives, and I would be honored to own any of your 2nd’s! You’re an incredible craftsman and a talented artist!

My God you make beautiful knives. This is my new favorite channel!

[jaellarios]

Bro mans so skilled and always makes beautiful knives

[LIONTAMERD]

this is my prefered blade style & the craftsmanship is astronomical; I also like the "no frills" wood & steel aesthetic

[briantaylor]

Good work. It shows in your attention to detail.

[KarlBAndersen]

I've been making SS San-Mai since '07. I build hidden tang knives and always forge down my ricasso and draw out my hidden tang on my power hammer. It's a really good way to ensure your welds are good - by forging laterally AGAINST the welds. If there's any delamination at that point the billet needs to be scrapped. In 14 years now, I've failed once.

I think the problem i would have with your knifes is that they are pieces of art, i could never use them i would just sit there and look at them.
Loved the end result, and thanks for the links to the things you use, helps alot 👍
